BEFORE USE
• Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.
• Please read this operating guide through before using
your speaker system so you will know how to optimize
performance. After you have finished reading the
operating guide, store it in a safe place for future
reference.
• The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6
Ω
ohms. Connect the speaker system to a stereo amplifier
with a load impedance ranging from 4 to 16 ohms (a
model with “4 – 16
Ω
” displayed on the speaker output
terminals).
• In order to prevent damage to the speaker system
resulting from input overload, please observe the
following precautions:
• Do not supply power to the speaker system in excess of
the maximum permissible input.
• When connecting or disconnecting pin-plugs, be sure
amplifier power is OFF.
• When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud
sounds over a high-frequency range, do not use
excessive amplifier volume.
• Do not try to force a low-powered amplifier to produce
loud volumes of sound (the amplifier’s harmonic
distortion will be increased, and you may damage the
speaker).
• Do not touch the speaker cone’s reverberating surfaces
as they may be damaged by external force.
CABINET MAINTENANCE
• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and
dirt.
• When the cabinet is very dirty, clean with a soft cloth
dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times
with water, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not
use furniture wax or cleaners.
• Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays and
other chemicals on or near the cabinets, since these will
corrode the surfaces.
Center speaker
Front/Surround
speaker
These Satellite speakers and Subwoofer are
magnetically shielded.
However,depending on the installation location,color
distortion may occur if the speaker system is installed
extremely close to the screen off a television set.
If this happenscase,turn of the power switch of the
television set OFF,and turn it on after 15 to 30
minutes.If the problem persists,place the speaker
system away from the television set.

INSTALLATION
Speaker Installation
The subwoofer plays back the bass in monaural, making
use of the fact that the human ear loses the sense of
direction of low-pitched sound. Since the sense of direction
is lost, the subwoofer can be installed almost anywhere. If
it is installed too far away, however, the sound from the left
and right speakers may become unnatural.

NOTE:
• Position the left and right channel speakers at equal distances
from the TV set.
• Install the center speakers above or below the TV so that the
sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
• The rear (surround) speakers are most effective when installed
in parallel locations directly to the side, or slightly behind, the
listener, at a level about 1 meter above the listener's ears.

CAUTION:
When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure
to secure it with tape or some other suitable means.
Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external
shocks such as earthquakes, and it may lead to endangering
those nearby or damaging the speaker.

Installation Precautions
• Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will
not be exposed to high temperatures and high humidity.
• Do not place the unit near stoves or other heating
equipment or at locations exposed to direct sunlight, as
these can have an adverse effect on the cabinet and
internal components. Also, do not install the unit where
there is too much dust or high humidity, as these can
cause malfunctioning or breakdowns. (Avoid cooking
tables and other locations where the unit would be
exposed to heat, steam and soot.)
• Do not place heavy objects such as a television or TV
monitor on top of the unit.
• Keep the unit away from devices such as cassette decks
which are sensitive to magnetic fields
• Please install this unit away from the antenna cable of
the tuner, as noise can be caused with installation close
to the antenna cable. In such a case, use this unit at a
position away from the antenna and the antenna cable,
or when playback of extra bass is not required, switch off
the power for this unit.
IN COMBINATION WITH
SPEAKERS
The frequency characteristics of the S-HS02 combined with
satellite speakers are shown below. As shown in these
figures, the low frequency range is improved.
• These special characteristics are obtained in an echoless
chamber. The effect of an additional subwoofer in an
ordinary listening room is better than the chart indicates
when positioned adequately.
• With playback of Dolby* Digital, establishment of a
special channel for the subwoofer is recommended; and
with playback of LFE (Low Frequency Effect: sound
effect like the rumbling of the earth, whose purpose is to
intensify the force of the video), the S-HS02 is especially
effective.
Dolby* Digital
Dolby Digital is the name of the Dolby Surround multi-
channel digital system that was developed from Dolby
Surround, as a continuation of Dolby Pro Logic Surround.
Dolby Digital is also referred to as a 5.1 channel system.
This is because it has 5 channels in the 20Hz – 20kHz
frequency range (front left and right, center, and rear left
and right) and an independent channel for the subwoofer.
The subwoofer channel is also referred to as LFE (Low
Frequency Effect).
The LFE channel is used according to individual tastes to
enhance the bass effect.
MAINTENANCE OF EXTERNAL
SURFACES
Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.
When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth
dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times
with water, and wrung out well, and then wipe again with a
dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.
Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays and other
chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the
surfaces.

CONNECTIONS
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power switch and disconnect the power cord from the
AC outlet.
1 Set the amplifier’s power switch to OFF.
2 Connect accessory speaker cords to the
input terminals at the rear of the speaker
system using the color-coded indicators.
Connect the cord with the colored sleeve to the
terminal and the cord with no marking to the
terminal. Bear in mind that the red input terminal has a
“
” polarity, and the other terminal has a “
” polarity.
Depress the input terminal lever, and insert the tip of
the cord into the hole and then release the lever so that
it springs back into position.
3 Connect the speaker cord to the
amplifier’s speaker output terminals in
the same way.
Your amplifier is unlikely to have the same color-coding
system, but you can identify which color goes with
which speaker by referring to the illustration at the top
of this page.
NOTES:
• Make sure that the speaker cords are connected to the
terminals securely. Insecure connections may cause not
only sound to be interrupted and noise to be generated
but also the cords to be shorted and the amplifier to
break down.

• If listening to a stereo performance with the speaker
system connected to a stereo amplifier and you find that
the bass is insufficient, the sound is not spread out and
there is no stereo effect; the cords of one of the speaker
systems have been plugged into the wrong polarity
terminals.
• Viewed from the front, connect the right-side speaker
system to the right channel (R) of amplifier’s speaker
output terminals, and the left-side speaker system to the
left channel (L).
LINE LEVEL CONNECTION
This connection is for a stereo amplifier or receiver
equipped with a SUBWOOFER PRE-OUT terminal.
Connect to the LINE LEVEL INPUT terminal on this unit,
using the specially provided RCA plug cord.
